KHC, in partnership with the KDHE Healthcare Associated Infections and Antibiotic Resistance (HAI/AR) Program, will be hosting a series of informational webinars regarding the new CMS Antibiotic Usage Reporting (AUR) requirements. The goal of this series is to introduce the NHSN AUR module, reporting requirements, and link facilities to vendors in order to start the enrollment process

Beginning in CY 2024, CMS finalized changes to the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) that include a new AUR Surveillance measure. To obtain credit for calendar year 2024, eligible hospitals and CAHs must attest to being in active engagement with CDC’s NHSN to submit AUR data for the EHR reporting period, or else claim an applicable exclusion.
